10 Tips How to Shoot More Interesting Photos

1. Work the scene

Don’t just shoot 1-2 photos. Shoot lots of photos with your subject, and treat it like a dance.

2. Shoot your food

The good thing about shooting your food is this:

When you shoot your food, you associate those meals with certain memories with certain people. Thus, when you look at your food photos, you will remember the wonderful and joyful experiences you had (with the people you shared that meal with).

3. Shoot yourself

If you’re lacking subject-matter to shoot, remember: You can always shoot yourself!

Shoot anything which interests you, and just stay consistent with a high-contrast monochrome look:

9. Shoot the light

Whenever you see epic light, just photograph the light. Shoot with -1 or -2 exposure-compensation to highlight the light. You can do this during sunrise, sunset, or whenever you see a nice stream of light.

10. Shoot the color red

The color red is the most intense color (the color of blood):

Conclusion

Allow yourself to shoot anything which interests you. This is the best way to stay motivated with your photography, and to keep shooting for “auto-telic” reasons (shooting for yourself).
